Swarming slimes are small orange oozes that gather in overwhelming numbers to attack and feed. Wordlessly coordinating amongst themselves, swarming slimes surround and kill even the most tenacious foes, then collectively feed on their prey, tearing it apart and dissolving it. As such, some particularly ruthless warlords and conquerors have been known to draw a surging wall of swarming slimes to attack a city before their forces besiege it, though the swarm must be given time to move on, lest their next meal be the soldiers that planned to take advantage of them, while the leaders of those settlements pay adventurers handsomely to fend off a particularly large swarm. Ooze Nature. A swarming slime doesn't require sleep.
